Cederberg David Niewoudt Ghost Corner Semillon 2023

R297.00

Region: Elim

Tasting note:

“The Ghost Corner Semillon 2023 displays a pale straw hue with a nose that opens up to a youthful expression of lemon/lime citrus and subtle hints of crushed pineapple, green melon and a touch of fig leaf dustiness. The wine reveals viscosity and texture on the palate due to lees contact, balancing the palate weight with a refreshingly crisp green apple finish. Best enjoyed after a year or two in the bottle to allow the wine to achieve its full expression and poise” – Sandy Harper CWM

Ghost Corner wines are inspired by the treacherous coastal area around Cape Agulhas, at the southernmost tip of the Cape winelands known as ‘Spookdraai’ (Afrikaans for Ghost Corner). More than 130 ships were wrecked in these waters where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet and where compass readings show no deviation between magnetic and true north which made navigation just about impossible on dark and stormy nights. Local folklore claims that the ghosts of sailors who perished through the years can be seen wandering through the wild waters.
Just inland from this dramatic coastline, in the Elim Ward, lie the vineyards where David Niewoudt (of Cederberg Wines) is making the most of excellent growing conditions, cooling southeasterly breezes and extreme climate. The deep lime-rich soil with plentiful slate and gravel deposits give rise to the exceptional Ghost Corner wines – Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and The Bowline. A range of wines that linger on the palate, evoking a sense of mysteries past.
